pseo-quality-guard (9)

Note: metadata and schema are independent of each other — both read from the data layer and render into templates. Run them in parallel in Phase 4.

Note: pseo-scale only applies when discovery identifies 10K+ pages. It runs after audit to set up database infrastructure, data sufficiency gating, and CDN architecture before the data layer is built. At < 10K pages, skip it entirely.

Execution Modes

full (default)

Run the complete pipeline: discover → audit → implement → validate.

discover-only

Run only pseo-discovery. No code changes. Use when the user doesn’t yet know what to build.

audit-only

Run pseo-audit and pseo-quality-guard. No code changes. Assumes discovery is done.

implement

Skip discovery and audit, go straight to implementation (assumes both were already done).

validate

Run only pseo-quality-guard against the existing implementation.

Full Pipeline Procedure

Phase 0: Discovery

1. Run pseo-discovery with scope all
2. Present the discovery report: data assets found, proposed page types, rejected candidates
3. Ask the user to confirm which page types to pursue
4. If data enrichment is needed, flag it — implementation cannot produce quality pages without sufficient data

Phase 1: Audit

5. Run pseo-audit with scope full, informed by the discovery output (what page types are planned)
6. Present findings to the user
7. Ask the user to confirm which areas to implement
8. Create a prioritized implementation plan based on audit results

Phase 1.5: Scale Infrastructure (conditional — 10K+ pages only)

9. Run pseo-scale to set up database, sufficiency gating, CDN, and monitoring
10. Migrate existing data to database if moving from file-based storage
11. Compute data sufficiency scores and gate thin combinations

Phase 2: Data Foundation

12. Run pseo-data to set up or refactor the data architecture
13. Verify data layer exports are complete and typed
14. Validate slug uniqueness and data integrity

Phase 3: Page Structure (parallel where possible)

15. Run pseo-templates to create or refactor page templates and routing
16. Run pseo-linking to build internal linking, breadcrumbs, and hub pages
17. Verify all routes generate correctly and no 404s exist

Phase 4: SEO Tags

18. Run pseo-metadata to implement dynamic metadata on all templates
19. Run pseo-schema to add JSON-LD structured data to all templates
20. Verify metadata and schema render correctly on sample pages

Phase 5: Optimization

21. Run pseo-performance to optimize build times, CWV, and caching
22. Run pseo-llm-visibility to optimize for AI citation (llms.txt, AI crawlers, content chunking, entity optimization)
23. Run a build to verify it completes successfully at current scale
24. Check bundle size and rendering performance

Phase 6: Validation

25. Run pseo-quality-guard with scope all (or delta at 10K+ pages)
26. Present quality report to the user
27. Fix any critical issues flagged by the quality guard
28. Re-run quality guard to confirm all issues resolved

Decision Points

At each phase transition, check with the user:

• Phase 0→1: “Here are the pSEO opportunities. Which page types should we build?”
• Phase 1→1.5: “The audit found these issues. Scale target is N pages — do we need scale infrastructure?” (only if 10K+)
• Phase 1.5→2: “Database and gating are set up. Proceed with data architecture?”
• Phase 1→2: “The audit found these issues. Proceed with implementation?” (if < 10K, skip 1.5)
• Phase 3→4: “Templates and linking are set up. Ready for metadata and schema?”
• Phase 5→6: “Performance and LLM visibility optimizations applied. Ready for final validation?”

Progress Tracking

Track and report progress as:

Phase 0: Discovery        [✓] Complete — 3 page types confirmed, 50K pages planned
Phase 1: Audit            [✓] Complete
Phase 1.5: Scale Infra    [✓] Complete (DB, gating, CDN) — skipped if < 10K
Phase 2: Data             [✓] Complete
Phase 3: Structure        [→] In Progress (templates done, linking in progress)
Phase 4: SEO Tags         [ ] Pending
Phase 5: Optimization     [ ] Pending (performance + LLM visibility)
Phase 6: Validation       [ ] Pending

Important Rules

• Never skip the discovery phase on a new project (unless user already knows exactly what pages to build)
• Never skip the audit phase on a new project (unless user explicitly says to)
• Always run pseo-quality-guard as the final step
• If quality guard finds critical issues, fix them before declaring success
• Commit changes at logical checkpoints (after each phase)
• Keep the user informed at each phase transition

Framework Note

All code examples across the pseo-* skills use Next.js App Router patterns by default. The concepts, data structures, and SEO principles are framework-agnostic and apply equally to Astro, Nuxt, Remix, SvelteKit, or any SSG/SSR framework. When working with a non-Next.js project, adapt the framework-specific APIs (routing, metadata, static generation) to the equivalent in the target framework.

What This Skill Does NOT Do

• Does not choose a framework (assumes one is already in place or user will decide)
• Does not create content (assumes data/content exists or user will provide it)
• Does not deploy the site
• Does not set up CI/CD
• Does not configure hosting or DNS
